Dose FileTransferClient support proxy?

Question

Hi everybody

Class FTPClient has the following methods: initSOCKS and initSOCKSAuthentication to support connecting ftp server through a pxoxy.
How about FileTransferClient ? :!:

Answer 1

Good question. No it doesn't have these methods. However they apply to the entire VM, so you can call the FTPClient methods and still use FileTransferClient.

Answer 2

Thanks for advince, But I want to know more.Suppose

public class MyFTP extends FileTransferClient

If I want to use proxy in MyFTP, what should I do ?
Any advice will be appreciated.

Answer 3

You can still use the FTPClient methods and they will work for your subclass.

Answer 4

hai!
I have just checked the source, the methods initSOCKS and initSOCKSAuthentication belong to FTPClient ,but the FTPClient member in class FileTransferClient is private ,not protocted.In class FileTransferClient we don't have a method like getFTPClient() through which we can get the FTPClient Object. I have added it myself. Also I advise you to add a method like this in your next edition or rewrite FileTransferClient not using FTPClient

Answer 5

These are static methods so you don't need an FTPClient instance.

Just call

FTPClient.initSOCKS(...)

etc

Answer 6

I have got it after I read the source code
Any way，Thanks a lot!!
